Dear friends and companions on this journey,
Today, we are delighted to share a special moment in the history of Nunamae with you. As we stand side by side, we mark both a transition and a continuation. Mariana has decided it is time for a new adventure, and Toos Vergote is honored to take over as the new owner and CEO.
Mariana will continue to be an inspiring presence behind the scenes for some time. Together, we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. And you, as clients, will not notice any difference.
Toos will continue to uphold the core values on which Nunamae was founded: a commitment to Portuguese craftsmanship, sustainability, and the creation of high-quality, handmade rugs with minimal environmental impact.
Mariana: "When I decided to sell the brand, I had a very specific profile in mind. I knew it would be difficult, but it was important that the person who would take over Nunamae shared the same vision of a sustainable business. When I finally found Toos, I knew it had to be her. Her sensitivity, contagious energy, humility, kindness, and empathy for the artisans truly charmed me, and beyond doing business with her, Toos has become a very special friend. I am certain she will do an incredible job with the brand."
Toos: "I couldn't be more excited to continue the incredible work that Mariana has accomplished over the past four years. I am deeply inspired by her vision and the love she has poured into Nunamae. I look forward to nurturing the future of this brand and maintaining a close friendship with Mariana as she begins her next chapter. I am so curious to see what wonderful things she will create next!"
There is a new wind blowing through Nunamae, but our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability remains steadfast. We are excited for this new journey together and grateful for your continued trust and support.
With love,
Toos & Mariana
